I have a feeling that it is screwing with my system. I tried to update to 1.19 at one point and the busybox installer told me that there was a problem and that I have multiple copies installed.
I just did a fresh install, wiping /system. However, busybox is still installed, and I'm sure it's in /sbin.
How can I remove it cleanly?
Bump. Please, I'm at wits end!

Busybox is baked in the kernel.
Clockworkmod needs busybox, if you build a kernel, then you see.
Only stock kernels doesnt have!
Thanks for your reply!

I am trying to find a way to block permissions to certain apps after installation. I came across this app called PDroid but requires a patched ROM using a linux script. App can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056.
Has anyone tried this app?

I haven't. I use App Shield, and it works well

You can try permissions denied.

If you have a ROM in mind, if be happy to compile for you. I've been using it on icscrewd personally the last few versions. It is a really easy install, just flash a zip in cwm and install pdroid from the market

Thanks I will try it out this week.
UPDATE: Bad news bears. I flashed the patch as described (mounted system, wiped cache) but the system went into a boot loop. The boot animation kept cycling over and over again.
Did the restore zip work at least? That's the first I've heard of a bout loop caused by it.
It only edits 3 files, none of which could possibly cause more than a boot loop in any case.
EDIT: May have been a corrupted download, I'll be sure to post MD5, hashes next time. Sorry about that!

I don't think it was a corrupt download. I just created a patch myself using the Windows program and it also produced a boot loop. I restored from a nandroid the first time, trying out the restore file right now.
Alright sounds good. That's still really is though, and I have no idea why it happens. Did you flash any addons on top of the stock ROM?

Nope. Just the patch. Although the second time I didn't mount the system. Is this a necessary step? I didn't see anything in the OP of the PDroid thread.
Possible reasons for failure:
* Corrupt download first time
* Second time, didn't mount system
What is this "If you "integrated sys Dalvik into ROM" with Titanium Backup, you will have to undo it"? I am using TB but I'm not sure if this applies to my situation.
I noticed the ROM must be deodexed and I didn't see any odex filetypes in the system/framework directory. That should be the only place they appear right?
On a better note, the restore file works =) Thanks for the help
Yes, you should mount /system in CWM, as I didn't manually edit the patch to add in auto-mounting.
I just tried on Unnamed 2.2.1 and experienced the boot loop as well (created the patch using the Windows patcher). Restore zip works fine, and tried with and without mounting /system in CWM. There apparently is something in Unnamed that the code doesn't like
Too bad, sounds like a good program (I also use LBE and wanted to use it along side).

It's a great app. I am running it on a Hellraised ROM. None of the AT&T base ones work. I sent the dev an error log from UnNamed 1.3.1 and he knows what the problem is and will try to address it in a future patcher release. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22111242&postcount=757)

Thanks! I guess I didn't go far enough back in the dev's thread (DUH!) so hopefully he's got the info he needs to fix it. I'd really like to try it sometime.
The developer of PDroid has released an update to his patcher that fixes the bootloop issue for AT&T roms. I just installed using UnNamed v1.32 and it works great.
Feels good to block all of those permissions.
im using rom checkrom and neak kernel. to the point,how to install busybox permanently since it will change to default busybox on next reboot after sucessful installation of busybox.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
You've got a couple of options.
First, you could use something like Titanium Backup to make your latest installation the system version, therefore overwriting the earlier one. To do that, do menu, batch and then find "Integrate updates of system apps into the rom". When you click that it will give you a list of apps that will be affected. Tick and untick to suit and click run.
Second, you could do that manually, by pushing the apk into /system/app/.
you obviously need root to do either of them, but if you've not got root then why the hell are we talking about busybox?
Good luck mate.
ok, ill try,,

Okay, after spending the whole day screwing with my phone me and my wife's phones are rooted, unlocked, and s-off running custom roms. Everything is cool except for one thing, somehow my wife's phone lost root and she is getting frustrated not being able to open certain apps and she's getting super pissed at me. Can someone please help. I tried running the perm root in the "noob proof tool thing" and reinstalled superuser in AmanRa and it did nothing. Out of ideas. How do you just root it?
from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Have you tried checking the app that handles superuser permissions within the ROM itself?
Most Rezound ROMs have "Superuser" or "Super SU" in the app drawer.
Check how the program is handling permissions in settings and try updating the busybox binaries there for starters.
More than one superuser app running at the same time can be problematic too.
Reinstall the rom

In recovery clear cache and dalvik cache. And if you flash the same ROM you shouldn't have to wipe data.

Yep, and back up text messages of course, she'll probably not appreciate those disappearing.
Got an option built into message app for SMS, and MMS can be saved a few ways such as this here (if Titanium Backup is installed and working properly with root, since you said "some" apps):

Backup was suggested for if you re-flash the ROM and have her set back up lol, I mean that doesn't hurt.
Update SU binaries and wipe caches and check things out again.
To try and sit down and reason it out a bit: What apps are having issues, why just "some." Are all these issues actually connected and directly related to root access? Could just be permissions issue, or problem with restoring from Titanium Backups.
You can use Root Checker off Play Store to check that quickly. If that says you're ok, check the SU app on your ROM and settings, reinstall of that may help.
Again, all root is in a nutshell is access to the whole filesystem, accomplished on our phone by running the system as a particular user with administrative permissions. You interact with the Superuser apps, which in turn use busybox binaries to interface with the system.
Kinda odd it could just dissappear after being installed successfully, unless it got deleted or settings changed, or very unlikely file corruption. Worse case, if it is not another issue, you do not have root access, and cannot pin down the solution, a ROM reflash is suggested. Remember to reinstall SU then if the ROM doesn't have it of course, most all custom ones have root built in, Stock ROMs don't.
Flash a superuser.zip
That's what I had to do.

Hey All-
just have to say this phone is awesome.
It is rooted, and I have titanium backup and a few other things installed without any bumps.
but when u try to install busybox, it either days "busybox installation failed",.or it crashes.
I have tried busybox installer with the same results.
Help!!
How is Titanium Backup working if you don't have busybox installed? I thought busybox is needed in order for TB to work properly.

i am curious too. My titanium works, when i try normal or smart install of busy box it either fails or the phone reboots.
When you flash supersu on recovery, do you still need busybox?
What does it do?

If I remember I couldn't install busybox from the play store app. I had to install it via recovery.. I got the .zip from the android general forums. After that it worked fine.

I had this exact same problem with stock ROM and unlocked with root. Cedric at Android Tuner reviewed my catlogs and its something to do with CPU3. I flashed [ROM][4/27] - AT&T Stock Root 1.26.502.10 -| Flashes boot.img | System RW capable! and haven't had a problem since. Hope this helps.
I was also having this problem as well as trying to install Secure Settings Helper. Both wouldn't install even though I had root. I discovered from another thread it is the kernel. You need a kernel that will allow you to actually right to the system dir. Once I flashed a new kernel, both busybox and secure settings helper installed just fine.

I read somewhere else, that BusyBox could not be installed because of S-ON, what I did is: flash BusyBox.zip directly from TRWP, which works perfectly!

Dude link2sd is your problem. Unlink apps and uninstall link2sd. Remember to uninstall busybox as well. Anything that modified the build.prop or system. Install voodoo ota rootkeeper and protect your root. Good luck!

Here's what I did:
Installed a rooted V20D nandroid from the sticky thread
Installed BusyBox
Used Voodoo Rootkeeper to preserve root
Installed the OTA upgrade (clear data for Google Services Framework then check for update in the settings menu to force this)
Upgraded SuperSU binary
Restored Root (I might have done this before the SuperSU binary upgrade)
Let the phone fully update itself
Reboot into CWM
Make an initial backup
Wipe all data and cache
Make a clean backup for the next time this happens (per Nathan's advice)
Restore the initial backup
Perfect glad I could help.
